LOUISVILLE, April 29.-The Mayor
late this afternoon issued a proclama-
ton, calling on all good citizens to re-
main at home tonight and avoid all
gatherings, adding that he would do
all in his power to preserve good order,
etc. While the Mayor was inditing
the proclamation five hundred men
gathered in front OF Lelderkranz Hall.
The %janitor refused them admittance,
and the police were endeavoring to dis
| perse them, when DIR. Berry, the we'll
known physician, mounted a barrel
and said: "Since the brutal assault
on Miss Bowman none OF our women
and children felt any security, and
while there was nothing to be done in
the case but to lynch the negro fiends,
as the law had again and again failed
to punish murderers. Ii this crime
was not atoned for, the chance would
be missed to set a terrible example to
the hundreds of idle, worthless and
thieving negroes who infest the alleys
and slums of the city," The doctor
was cheered frequently. The meeting
afterwards adjourned to hall near by.
where the names OF about 100 citizens,
who it was believed would join an
organized effort to lynch the negroes,
were selected. Other speeches were
made, and it was determined to meet
at 10 O'Clock tomorrow at the court
house, despite the Mayors proclama-
ton. On the squares about the jail
tonight, are densely packed. Beyond
keeping them about half a block back,
no efforts have been made to dispense
them. On Market street about 100
men are marching up and down, each
with a piece of rope tied to his arm
The mob appears. so far, to have no
leader, and seems to be watching out
of curiosity for something to urn up.
The police and militia are determined
to defend the Jail, and if an attempt is
made in the night. or in the morning,
there will be bloodshed.
Jennie Bowman is still suffering in
tensely. The physicians say there is
no hope for her recovery.
IL p. M.-The soldiers have just been
marched from the armory to the Jail,
and are now stationed there. A gat-
ling u squad is also on hand. Ten
thousand people are surging to and
from Jefferson street, but good order
prevails.
At IL $50 A. the crowds about the
courthouse square have dwindled down
to 300 OF 400 people. and these are
dispensing gradually. Three hundred
and fifty soldiers, with a gatling gun,
and $50 armed police stand guard at
the Jail.
All Quiet at Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, April 30.-Everything
is quiet this morning about the jail
and courthouse square. The meeting
agreed upon by the mob leaders last
evening, has not materialized, and it
is generally believed that all danger of
mob violence has passed. Turner and
Patterson spent a miserable night.
They refused to eat and could not
sleep with any peace. When the
prisoners were told that the militia
and gatling gun had appeared, they
grew quiet and rested under a feeling
OF safety. The statement published
by one of the morning papers, indicat-
ing that Patterson was able to prove
an alibi, is not generally believed. 1t
is strongly contradictory of another
story told by Patterson a few days
ago.
Ca~lifornfans Trying TO Save the
Hartford.
CHICAGO, April 30.-In connection
with the attempts of the Californians
to save the Hartford, a Washington
dispatch says: Secretary Whitney
says that he must consider the subject
in its business, and not in its senti-
mental bearings. That is just the
way in which the San Francisco peo-
pie are considering it. Ii the Hart
ford was lying in any other navy yard
there would be no delegation here
from San Francisco begging a new
lease of life for the old hulk. 1t
makes a heap of difference where the
$500, 900 or $400, 900 required to repair
her is to be spent.
Three Negroes Hanged.
PRocToR, w. ", April 30.-The
bodies Of three negroes, brothers,
named Sylvester, were found hanging
to a tree on the roadside six miles
east of here yesterday. Each body
bore a placard, on which was written
"Nigger thievery just broken up"
The farmers in the neighborhood have
suffered depredations at the hands
OF unknown persons, and it seems
they finally settled on the Sylvesters
